I don't know if this has been discussed here before but I just found out about it.

Go to www.live.com and sign up for an account. Do a search for the products you're looking for on Ebay (or anywhere else for that matter) when the google style list comes up pick "live search cashback on Ebay" which then loads the Ebay listings which meet your search criteria. For example get 20% cashback on new Canon lenses when you buy them using a buy it now and pay via paypal.

For some reason I can't find the link to the live search cashback on Ebay... I must be missing something Looking for a 70-200 2.8 lens and/or a fisheye Have to wait to buy the due to the price, but if I can pull down 20% I'll order them tonight!

You must sign up for a live.com account and then log in and search for the Canon via the live.com search engine. The resulting list will show a selection called live search results on ebay. Select that and you'll see a new ebay screen with all the eligible auctions on ebay. At the top of that page you'll see the cashback percentage. From there do a buy it now and pay via paypal. You'll see an icon saying this purchase is eligible for cashback on every screen during the process but there's nothing you need to click or enter at that point. Once the purchase is complete check your messages in my ebay. After the message that you'll be getting cash back appears go to your live.com account and click on cashback and you should see it there as well. It will take 4-6 weeks before it shows up in your paypal account. They say you must also make the purchase within 1 hour of logging into live.com.

Hmm, I wonder if that changes with the amount of the discount (I was going off of the 30% cashback deal (that's the only one I've been using, so maybe they do change it based on the percentage refunded).

But if you have the funds, and can wait 60 days to get the money it's an INCREDIBLE deal!

Rich, make sure you closely inspect the ACOG you get and do your homework as there are a substantial number of Knock off ACOG's floating around. If you are un-aware of this...I would search AR15.com and Calguns to get up to date on the situation. Then again you may already know about...just thought I would put it out there.

Edit: Now that I think about it you may be able to confirm directly with the manufacturer as well.

It's real, got the case, registration etc. Besides I got it from SWFA who sell a lot on Ebay and is one of AR15.com's featured vendors. They're like the B&H of scopes. In fact it was their guy that announced the whole deal on AR15.com to begin with. I saw some of the Chinese Trijicons at the Reno show, it's pretty easy to tell they're fake by just looking at the reticle and glass. Now if the new lowers I ordered would ever show up!

Ha, good luck with Black Rifle stuff right now. Do you already have your uppers, lower parts kits, etc? I have heard from numerous sources that uppers are really really hard to find right now. Are you building an AR10 or AR15? I would assume AR15 with the Trijicon but maybe a magnifier? With the whole Obamanation threat on the second people are paying INSANE amounts for black rifle stuff. At Reno I watched lowers go for 200+ and very basic uppers going for 2-3 hundo over historical costs! This whole thing is insane right now. Most vendors and shop guys I talk to tell me their suppliers are completely out of everything. BTW, where are you getting your lowers from...in case there is another gun shop that supports the cause I havent heard of yet. Here in SJ there are a few, but out by you I am clueless...

I made two purchases using MS livesearch and one of them was void because the invoice showed I used an additional discount code:

Here's the support response:

"We are sorry to see your purchase has not shown in your account. We were able to determine you have used an alternate coupon or discount during your checkout process. Additional rebates in addition to cashback void eligibility as per section (g) of the Windows Live Search cashback Terms of Use."
